This project aims to analyze the contribution of each NACE rev 2 activity on polluting emissions.
We are going to filter data for Italy and select “Tonnes” as unit of measure
All data used for the analysis comes from Eurostat.
The eurostat package will be used to read the data from Eurostat
Let’s start by extracting the data for each sector. Subsequently, the data will be filtered to take into consideration only those relating to Italy. Subsequently, the data will be grouped on an annual basis
After extracting all the important data, a grouping of the data relating to Air emissions accounts will be carried out by macro sectors. The aim is to identify macro sectors for which emissions are increasing.
The results at the Italian level will be compared with the European ones.
After that will focus on these macro sectors:
In the second part of the project we will analyze the deaths in Italy caused by lung diseases. An analysis will be performed based on gender and age groups.
We are going to consider these categories of diseases
Mining and quarrying Mining and quarrying in the form of the extraction of minerals and materials occurring naturally as solids (coal, ores, gravel, sand, salt), liquids (petroleum), gases (natural gas) or biomass (peat). Extraction can be achieved by different methods such as underground or surface mining or extraction, well operation etc.
Human health activities This division includes activities of short- or long-term hospitals, general or specialty medical, surgical, psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, sanatoria, preventoria, medical nursing homes, asylums, mental hospital institutions, rehabilitation centres, leprosaria and other human health institutions which have accommodation facilities and which engage in providing diagnostic and medical treatment to inpatients with any of a wide variety of medical conditions.
It also includes medical consultation and treatment in the field of general and specialised medicine by general practitioners and medical specialists and surgeons. It includes dental practice activities of a general or specialised nature and orthodontic activities. Additionally, this division includes activities for human health not performed by hospitals or by practicing medical doctors but by paramedical practitioners legally recognised to treat patients.
Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles This division includes all activities (except manufacture and rental) related to motor vehicles and motorcycles, including lorries and trucks, such as the wholesale and retail sale of new and second-hand vehicles, the repair and maintenance of vehicles and the wholesale and retail sale of parts and accessories for motor vehicles and motorcycles. Also included are activities of commission agents involved in wholesale or retail sale of vehicles.
This division also includes activities such as washing, polishing of vehicles etc.
Activities of households as employers; undifferentiated goods- and services-producing activities of households for own use This division includes the undifferentiated subsistence goods-producing and services-producing activities of households. Households should be classified here only if it is impossible to identify a primary activity for the subsistence activities of the household. If the household engages in market activities, it should be classified according to the primary market activity carried out.
Let’s find trend for every macro sector and select the ones with increasing tren
Agriculture, forestry and fishing
Mining and quarrying
Manufacturing
Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities
Construction
Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles
Transportation and storage
Accommodation and food service activities
Information and communication
Financial and insurance activities
Real estate activities
Professional, scientific and technical activities
Administrative and support service activities
Public administration and defence; compulsory social security
Education
Human health and social work activities
Arts, entertainment and recreation
Other service activities
Activities of households as employers; undifferentiated goods- and services-producing activities of households for own use
Activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies
All NACE activities plus households
Let’s go deeper on sectors with increasing trend
Activities of households as employers; undifferentiated goods- and services-producing activities of households for own use
Hydrofluorocarbones (CO2 equivalent) (HFC_CO2E) is the most pollutant component with an increasing trend
Compare with Europe
Greenhouse gases (GHG) is the most pollutant component. Anyway also Hydrofluorocarbones (CO2 equivalent) has an increasing trend
Mining and quarrying details
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, both with an increasing trend
Compare with Europe
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, both with a decreasing trend
Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles details
Greenhouse gases (GHG) is the most pollutant component, but the trend is almost flat. Instead Hydrofluorocarbones (CO2 equivalent) (HFC_CO2E) has an increasing trend
Compare with Europe
Both Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Hydrofluorocarbones (CO2 equivalent) (HFC_CO2E) have a decreasing trend
Analyze the singular components
Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles details
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, but both with a decreasing trend
Compare with Europe
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, but both with a decreasing trend
Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles details
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Hydrofluorocarbones (CO2 equivalent) (HFC_CO2E) are the most pollutant components, both with an increasing trend
Compare with Europe
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, but both with a decreasing trend
Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles details
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, but both with a decreasing trend
Compare with Europe
Greenhouse gases (GHG) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) are the most pollutant components, but both with a decreasing trend
In the second part of the project we will analyze the deaths in Italy caused by lung diseases.
We start by collecting data from Eurostat database
## Table hlth_cd_asdr2 cached at C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpWIitmH/eurostat/hlth_cd_asdr2_date_code_FF.rds
So let’s run a trend analysis of the causes of death based on sex
Causes of death for women
Causes of death for men
The charts above show an increasing trend for women
Now let’s continue the analysis of the causes of death in Italy for women due to lung diseases, separating the data according to the two age groups:
Causes of death based for women under 65
Causes of death based for women over 65
For over 65 the trend is increasing
In this last step we will analyze the causes of death for women over 65, based on the following categories of lung diseases
Let’s analyze the Pneumonia category
The trend is increasing
Let’s analyze the Chronic lower respiratory category
Also in this case the trend is increasing
Let’s analyze the Asthma and status asthmaticus category
Also in this case the trend is increasing, but less then other categories
Let’s analyze the Other lower respiratory diseases category
Also in this case the trend is increasing
Let’s analyze the Other diseases of the respiratory system category
Also in this case the trend is increasing, but less then other categories
We analyzed polluting emissions by NACE activities for Italy. We selected the activities with an increasing trend. For these we have identified the most important components and then we have compared them with the European average. We have identified these macro sectors with an increasing trend
The most polluting components, both at the Italian and European level, are the following:
In some specific cases the behavior and the Italian trend do not correspond with that at the European level. Ultimately, where the trend in Italy is increasing, the correspondent in Europe is not the same, or even decreasing as for the Mining and quarrying and Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles sectors.
In the last part we analyzed the causes of death in Italy linked to lung diseases. The data show a growing trend for women, especially those over 65. The trend is substantially growing for all categories of lung diseases.
